Free 4th Grade Christian Homeschool Curriculum

Are you looking for free 4th grade homeschool curriculum? At Freedom Homeschooling, we list several free all-in-one-curriculum programs. These programs include every subject your 4th grader will need. Homeschoolers often choose all-in-one programs because of the simplicity they provide. They take care of the planning and curriculum selection for you.

However, many homeschoolers, including myself, prefer to choose a separate curriculum for each subject. This allows us to customize our children’s education, choosing materials that fit their learning styles and individual needs in each subject area. Also, I’ve always enjoyed the variety that a more eclectic approach provides. Using the same approach and materials for every subject can become monotonous for some students.

If you’d like to piece together your own customized free 4th grade homeschool curriculum, visit Freedom Homeschooling’s homepage, and choose a subject area to explore from the menu. On that subject’s page, you will find a list of links to free curriculum resources.

Below, I’ve provided a sample free 4th grade Christian curriculum. This sample curriculum is intended to give you an idea of what a free 4th grade homeschool curriculum could look like. Feel free to make substitutions as needed. If you have other children, you may prefer to study some subjects, like Bible, history, and science, together as a family.

Additionally, at the end of this post, you’ll find a Free Printable Curriculum Plan.

Language Arts, Geography, and Art

The Good & the Beautiful (TGTB) Language Arts Level 4 covers reading, writing, spelling, literature, grammar, punctuation, art, and geography in one downloadable course. The course download includes the Course Book, Spelling & Writing Workshops, World Biographies Reader, and Personal Reader. TGTB recommends that you use their free placement test to determine if Level 4 is the right level for your child.

For additional reading, choose books from our 4th Grade Reading List or TGTB’s Book List. You should be able to find many of these books at your local library. Or, if you prefer, choose one of these Free 4th Grade Readers.

TGTB doesn’t include handwriting instruction. For cursive penmanship practice, you can print worksheets and copywork workbooks at StudentHandouts.com. This website offers numerous downloadable copywork sets that include famous quotes, words of wisdom, history, Shakespeare, and more.

Math

The Simply Good and Beautiful Math 4 Course download includes the Math 4 Course Book, Math 4 Mental Math Map Mysteries, answer key, and access to the lesson videos. The course book is in a worktext format and contains 120 daily lessons. The included lesson videos provide the bulk of the teaching, allowing students to complete their work independently. For additional information, read The Good and The Beautiful’s (TGTB) Math 4 FAQs page. TGTB recommends using their free math placement test to ensure Math 4 is the right level for your child.

Bible

God’s Hand in Our Lives offers 59 downloadable Level 3 (4th to 6th grade) Old Testament Lessons. Each lesson includes a teacher’s guide, opening and closing prayer, Bible story, worksheets, discussion questions, memory verses, and a hymn. If you are unfamiliar with the hymn, most of them can be found on YouTube. A Lutheran organization created this curriculum for Sunday schools. However, the materials also work well for homeschooling, and most of the content should be suitable for members of other Protestant denominations. Aim to complete about two lessons per week to finish this curriculum in one school year.

This video from Simply Charlotte Mason describes an easy-to-use system for memorizing scripture using index cards to organize Bible verses. You may want to consider using this system to help your 4th grader memorize verses from the God’s Hand in Our Lives lessons. If God’s Hand in Our Lives isn’t a fit for your family, check out Free Bible Curriculum for other options.

History

U Read Thru History is a Charlotte Mason inspired, literature-based approach to learning history. Each year, your child will spend one semester learning World History and one semester learning American History. Year 4 covers the Civil War Era and the Renaissance & Reformation. Each weekly lesson includes discussion questions and activities. If you are unable to find the books recommended in your local library, you may substitute any book that covers the same topic. If you choose to buy some of the books, save money by purchasing used books. For more information on how these history courses are set up, be sure to read the teacher’s guide.

Science

Mystery Science offers a limited number of free annual memberships each week. Every time I have visited Mystery Science’s website, there have been plenty of free memberships available. If there aren’t any when you visit, try again next week, and they should have more available. Mystery Science’s online lessons teach using a discovery approach. Each lesson features engaging videos that frequently stop for an activity or discussion. All of the experiments and activities use items that you should be able to find around your home or at your local grocery or discount store. Each lesson includes printable assessment questions, and many also include printable handouts or templates for use in the activities. Mystery Science’s units may be completed in any order. This makes it easy to choose science units to go with what your child is learning in other subjects or what they are currently interested in.

If you cannot obtain a free subscription to Mystery Science, consider using Under the Home’s 4th grade science instead. This course is a nature study that covers trees. There are 36 weekly lessons. The lessons include online text, videos, activities, review questions, and a printable field book. For additional science options for your 4th grade homeschool curriculum, see our Free Science Curriculum page.

Life Skills

Skill Trek provides a new life skill lesson each week on their Skill of the Week page. Each week’s lesson consists of a video and printable. The lessons cover a wide variety of topics in home maintenance, cleaning, gardening, personal finance, manners, technology, health, cooking, automotive, and more.

Practical Money Skills teaches children basic concepts about financial topics like saving money, comparison shopping, and managing their allowance. Each lesson includes a printable teacher’s guide and printable student materials. There are only four lessons, making Practical Money Skills a short unit that can be completed at any time during the school year.

Computer Skills

Code.org’s Course E teaches visual block-based programming. Your child will practice coding with algorithms, loops, conditionals, and events before they are introduced to functions. In the second part of the course, they will design and create a capstone project they can share.

Typing.com teaches touch typing through interactive lessons. Your child may start at the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level. The program tracks progress and provides additional lessons for frequently missed keys.

Physical Education and Health

Easy Peasy All-in-One Homeschool’s PE/Health: Exercise and Nutrition course teaches the correct way to exercise and the importance of good nutrition. Your child will work on improving their strength and endurance. They will also learn about fire safety and a variety of disabilities. Easy Peasy offers this course at two levels. Your 4th grader will be in the lower level, which is designed for 1st through 4th grade. The material is scheduled in 36 weekly lessons.

Other Grades

I hope this free fourth grade homeschool curriculum has been helpful. When your child finishes fourth grade, we have a similar curriculum guide for fifth grade. If you’re looking for guides for other grades, you can find them on our Free Christian Homeschool Curriculum page.
